The National Academy of Medicine (NAM) is collaborating with Kaiser Permanente to create sustainable impact within the Research and Innovation (R&I) pillar of NAM’s Grand Challenge on Climate Change, Human Health, and Equity (Climate Grand Challenge). The Climate Grand Challenge is a multi-year global initiative to improve and protect human health, well-being, and equity by working to transform systems that both contribute to and are impacted by climate change.
A major initiative within our R&I work includes implementing a five-phase approach to build a climate and health research agenda and supporting resource compendium that identifies and fills critical evidence gaps in climate and health research. We endeavor to help diverse audiences understand the existing evidence base around climate change, related health impacts, mitigation, and adaptation strategies.
This survey includes two aims:
- To collaboratively gather insights from diverse perspectives to inform key research priorities as we develop a research agenda focused around gaps at the intersection of climate change, health, and equity. Your input is extremely valuable and will help us to shape the direction of a research agenda that is relevant to advancing your work.
- To gather a diverse array of resources that will be accessible for all through a resource compendium. Please feel free to include a wide variety of resources that are not solely restricted to academic publications. Resources can include curricula, toolkits, implementation case studies, etc.
The aggregated information from this initiative will serve as a foundation for stronger climate and health communications and informed decision-making. Thank you for sharing.
If you have questions regarding this survey, please contact Shaneah (SMTaylor@nas.edu) and Emma (ELower-Mcsherry@nas.edu).
